SCHOOL BOARD FINDS BUILDING PROBLEM HARD Barry Promises Action, but Declines to Fix Construction Date. OLD BODY IS BLAMED Members of the majority faction of the board of school commissioners are finding it increasingly difficult to meet the need of new school buildings in Indianapolis In any other manner than that of the old board, whose building program they criticized so severely during the campaign last fall. Delegations of citizens from three widely separated parts of the city appeared before the board at the meeting last night to request the erection of additions or new buildings and in each instance they were told their claims were well founded and that they deserved the improvements which they asked. However, President Charles 1,. Parry, who acted as spokesman for the majority faction in talking to the delegations, was careful not to commit himself or the board to any definite time when the improvements would be put through. He made frequent use of the phrases “We will do something for you some time in the future.” “this -’oes not mean we will put It off indefinitely, “as soon as onr finances will permit,” and other phrases similar in character, and he intimated the old board was responsible for all the trouble. TAX BOARD HOLDS UP CONSTRUCTION. Two delegations were from schools which would be under construction now, In accordance with the building program of the old board, had it not been for the action of the State board of tax commissKTuers In refusing to approve the bond issue for their construction. In this stand the commissioners received the hearty backing of Mr. Barry. These two schools are No. 62, Wallace and East Tenth streets, and No. 16, Bloomington and Market streets A delegation composed of N. W. Beck, O. J. Larman, Mrs. Grant Smithson and the Rev. Joseph F. Weber, representing the Enterprise Civic League, appeared before the board and urged the betterment of conditions at Daniel Webster School No. 46, Howard and Reisner streets. The delegation told the board at this school 500 children were crowded into eight rooms, twenty-eight were in one room in which no sunlight ever entered, and the building was a fire trap and had been condemned years ago. The Rev. Weber made special objection to the outhouses In the school yard and said, “during the summer months they are a rendezvous for white mule.” When the matter of the fire hazard at the school was under discussion. W. D. Allison, a member of the board askml If there were no fire escapes. “No, not unles the children could slide down the vines,” Mr. Beck answered. ASK ADDITION TO SCHOOL. Mrs. David Shepherd presented a petition signed by 100 citizens in the neighborhood of School No. 20, Spruce near Prospect street, asking for an addition at that school. The petition was referred to the committee on buildings and grounds. In order to meet teachers salaries until the next Instalment of taxes Is due It is necessary to borrow $125,000 from the school building bond fund In addition to the $400,000 already borrowed, Walter ,T. Twiname business director of the board, announced. The money will be transferred to the local tuition fund. A resolution also was adopted for a loan of $250,000 to meet current school expenses until June 30. This money will be borrowed on the open market and bids will be asked from various financial Institutions. High school commencements will be held at Tomlinson Hall the nights of June 12, 13, 14 and 15, it was decided by the board. The coliseum at the fairgrounds and the Cadle tabernacle had been under consideration, but were rejected. The use of Tomlinson tlall will make It necessary to held the Arsenal Technical High School exercises on two

We Beli eve in Indianapolis PAPER BELT PULLEYS Ninety per cent of all the belted electric motors and generators produced in the United States and Canada are equipped with Indian-apolis-made paper belt pulleys. These pulleys, although made of paper—a supposedly frail material—are extensively used on heavy duty outdoor machinery, from the lumber camps of northern Maine to the mining camps of the golden west. Indianapolis has a capacity of over one-half million of these pulleys in a year’s time. They are shipped to points throughout the United States and Canada, and there are more paper pulleys shipped to foreign countries from Indianapolis than from any other point in the entire United States. In producing these pulleys five million pounds of paper, four million pounds of iron and one million pounds of wood are used annually.

nights, owing to large size of the graduating classes. FRESH AIR SCHOOL FLANS UP AGAIN. After making minor changes in the preliminary plans for the Theodore Potter Fresh Air School to be built on the grounds of Arsenal Technical High School, the matter was referred back to the architect, Herber Foltz. These plans were ordered by the former school board last spring, but were laid aside after the State tax board became antagonistic and refused to approve bond issues for four schools. It was felt at that time it would be useless to ask the bogrd to approve a bond Issue for the fresh air school. However, with, slight changes the plans seem to be well on the way to approval by the present school board, which so denounced the “extravagance’’ of the building program of its predecessor. It Is generally understood the State tax board will look with kindly eyes upon any requests made by the present school board,' even though they are very similar to the ones rejected last year wiseii made by the former board. E. E. Graff, superintendent of schools, was authorized to attend the convention of department superinteudens to be held in Chicago, Feb. 26 to March 6. Owing to the depletion of the fund for vocational training It may be necessary

LATEST THING IN TRAFFIC COPS They Will Soar Through Air Just Like Eagles. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Publio Ledger. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The right of ( states to Issue licenses to air pilots | was denied late yesterday by the Senate before passing the Wadsworth bili to ; create a bureau of aeronautic* in the De- ; partment of Commerce and to "encourage and regulate the operation of civil ; aircraft in Interstate commerce.” The legislation paves the way for the “aerial traffic cop.” He will be a Federal officer. ! Elimination of section 9 of the bill, granting to the several states the right to Issue pilot licenses, was accomplished on a roll call vote of 54 to 16 on motion of Senator Norris of Nebraska, who challenged the competency of the states to have requirements adequate, to safeguard the Uvea of persons and property Imperiled by Inefficient pilots. ! The Wadsworth bill create* an Aero- : nautles Bureau and sat* forth detailed regulations to govern u*e of airplanes In interstate commerce. Machines flying In Interstate traffic must be Inspected by Federal authorities before use, and the pilots will have to have Federal licenses. Detailed regulations under which the Federal “aerial traffic cop" will com* into being are to be drawn by experts in the bureau.—Copyright, 1922, . by Public Ledger Company.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Two grand juries of the County of New York are hearing the testimony of citizens who ! lost money playing the .took mf- t I In what they now suspect were bucket shops. Thirty or more “brokerage houses” are reported to be involved in tiie inquiry. If the aggrieved citizens had won their market bets they would have had no kick. They lost Hence their rage. I That men and women possessed of tior- : trial faculties should continue to thrust their savings into the clutches of professional operators of bucket shops 's one of the human mysteries which remains unsolved. For bucket shops are | the mustard weeds that, flourish in the | pasture of speculation. True enough, the public is not properly safeguarded and will not be until every snleman of securities Is licensed and heavily bonded, and stringent laws are passed and enforced compelling every director of an oil, mining or industrial company to sign an affidavit, to be filed with tho Secretary of State, swearing he has made a personal Investigation of the property and knows the statements made in the prospectus to be truo, and also giving the actna! extent of his personal investment in the property. Heavy fines, with prison terms specified, should be the penalties for failure to comply with such a law. Alas, in the past, when it came to the , creation of genuine remedial legislation, ! there was always a “hanging back" on the part of even our best brokers. Which brings It down to this—ln relation to what has happened, Wail Street has only j itself to blame. I What i* n bucket shop? A leading i Wall Street authority defined a bucket *hop as ‘‘The parasite of speculation, a parasite that steals everything, even Its weleomo, from a solid organization, the Now York Stock Exchange, to which it ■ contrltutes nothing, but which parasite that legitimate association of brokers has done nothing effectually to squelch.” A victim then said: “A bucket shop is a place where you get swindled." t.

Marmola Prescription Tablets can be obtained at all drug stores the world ov-r at the reasonable price of one dollar for a case, or you ran secure them direct on receipt of price from the Marmola Cos.. 4612 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Mich.

Orders to buy placed in the average bucket shop never are placed, the shop’s operations becoming mere wagers on price fluctuation, the intelligence of the bucket shop betting, as it were, against the intelligence of its customers. When the market rises, the customer, who usually is a '’bull,” betting on the prosperity of the nation, more often wins than not, and the bucket shop, If the strain Is too heavy, “fails." Victims of these ‘busts,” who are still on the books of the concern, are the citizens who subsequently throng the anterooms of tho grand juries. " hen the market drops, a bucket shop makes its greatest gain, the small margin customers being cleaned out, the majority never dreaming they did not even have a run for their money In the stocks which they thought hid teen bought for them. The consensus of expert opinion In the Avail street district is that the bucket shop bf today has acquired many “earmarks” of respeciability. It is less crude and more daring than It was in the days of “Dan” Loring, “Al" Adams and Haight and Freese. It has learned its lesson from the past and the majority “ f those who have gone into the bucketing business are post-graduates of the old school, men who were clerks and underlings of the veterans of the past. DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS POWERLESS. Joab n. Banton, district attorney, the Texas-born prosecutor of New York County, has not in his power the necessary legal machinery for tho bringing to Justice of the “buoketers" who are still "bucketing.” Tho laws of New York give Immunity to a concern whose books are seized in a prosecution. That is why Wall street takes the pending Investigation lightly, and several of those who would like to see a thorough housecleaning expressed to tho writer today a

fear nothing serious will come of the efforts of even a courageous district attorney operating under the statutes of New York. For, after all, the bucket shop thrives upon business developed In different States. The “Bucketrs” become uneasy only when the Attorney General of the United States wheels Into action against them and descends simultaneously upon them In different sections of the country. That was the case in 1910, when George W. Wickershal, then L’nited States Attorney General, was the unexpected aggressor, swooping down upon the rascals In other cities as well as New York, catching them red-handed and grabbing their own books, which very books convicted five powerful bucket-shop syndicates. The raids were done handsomely, and one of the chief sleuths in charge was George Scarborough, a former newspaper man, who has become a successful playright. SONG THAT LED TO LAW. DANTZIG, Feb. 15. —Count Thaddeus Zilsko, a Polish nobleman, was so annoyed by the singing of a German song at a local concert that he threw a cup of coffee at th singer. The coffee struck a woman at another table and she sued the Count for anew dress.
